Chapter 1257 Being roasted on the fire

Netal has thoughts of killing people.

Now the war situation is so corrupt that more than a dozen cities have been lost. Even large national cities like Delhi are besieged by the coalition forces of Khalistani and Nepal.

This was like putting Netal on the fire.

He can decide when the war will start, how it will start, and how many troops will be invested.

But he couldn't decide when the war would end, how it would end, and at what price it would end!

India is now fighting on four fronts, and the cost of the war is very high.

The supplies, weapons and ammunition consumed every day are staggering.

India's military industry is not developed, and most of its weapons and equipment have to be imported.

Today’s daily consumption is far greater than India’s average daily production.

India has already maintained arms reserves before, and can import them from Russia, the United States, etc.

But if it loses control of the sea and is cut off from import channels, it will be disastrous for India. There will be no need to fight this battle because it cannot go on.

In recent years, India has purchased a number of Russian warships, which made India's naval strength even surpass that of Pakistan.

But now that Pakistan has acquired the Type 001 aircraft carrier, the balance of strength is once again tilted toward Pakistan.

India actually has aircraft carriers, but the two imported ‘Moscow-class’ aircraft carriers are still being renovated at the Black Sea Shipyard in Russia and will take at least four months to be delivered to India.

At its peak, the Soviet Union had a total of twelve aircraft carriers.

Among them, the 'Moscow-class' aircraft carrier is the first aircraft carrier developed by the Soviet Navy. This type of aircraft carrier is also called a helicopter carrier because it can only carry helicopters. The displacement of the 'Moscow-class' aircraft carrier does not exceed 20,000 tons and was decommissioned and stored in the 1990s.

In fact, India would like to introduce Russia's Marshal Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, which is the most advanced aircraft carrier built during the Soviet period. It has a standard displacement of 55,000 tons and a full load displacement of 59,000 tons. It can carry fixed-wing aircraft.

But this kind of aircraft carrier is an active aircraft carrier of the Russian Navy, and Russia is not willing to sell it at all.

India can only settle for the next best thing and introduce two ‘Moscow-class’ helicopter carriers.

Prior to this, India had reached an agreement with Russia to introduce two more 'Kiev-class' aircraft carriers, and Russia would later sell a 'Varyag' aircraft carrier to India.

The 'Kiev-class' aircraft carrier is the second type of aircraft carrier developed by the Soviet Navy. It is a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier. This aircraft carrier can carry Yak-38 fighter jets, and its combat effectiveness is far stronger than the Moscow-class aircraft carrier.

In the 1990s, Russia was unable to maintain so many aircraft carriers. Four Kiev-class aircraft carriers were retired and stored in storage, and two of them were exported to India.

It's just that India messed up and failed to use the combat effectiveness and prestige of the 'Kiev-class' aircraft carrier, which caused the 'Kiev-class' aircraft carrier to sink.

India has once again introduced two 'Kiev-class' aircraft carriers, not to say how advanced these two 'Kiev-class' aircraft carriers are, but to introduce the Russian 'Varyag' aircraft carrier.

This kind of opportunity is very rare, because there are only a few countries that can develop large aircraft carriers, and it is not possible to buy one if you want to.

It is also because India has paid a price and Russia is rebuilding the Ulyanov-class aircraft carrier and needs funds that it gave India this opportunity.

The 'Ulyanov-class' aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1980s. It is a large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a tonnage of more than 80,000 tons. It is the most advanced aircraft carrier developed by the Soviet Union, but it is only the first Only 30% of the construction work of one ship was completed. Because of the break between Soviet conservatives and reformists, the construction of the aircraft carrier came to an abrupt end.

As China's Type 002B aircraft carrier is about to enter service, Russia has also dug out the design information of the 'Ulyanov-class' aircraft carrier from the database and is determined to build the 'Ulyanov-class' aircraft carrier.

But water far away cannot quench the thirst nearby. What Netal fears most is the Pakistani navy launching an attack on the Indian coast.

You must know that coastal areas are almost all the most developed in India. Once attacked, the losses will be huge.

After Netar's meeting, he summoned Alexander, the Russian ambassador to India, and then made a phone call to meet with Johnson, the US ambassador to India.

India has always maintained friendly relations with both sides, except for a period of time when it favored one side. Moreover, due to geopolitical reasons, India can play both sides and is the target of attraction from both sides.

Coupled with the special relationship between India and the United Kingdom, India has always maintained good relations with Europe.

Alexander is a Russian about fifty years old, tall and tall.

The Russian ambassador to India is a good job, because India is the largest customer of Russian arms exports and purchases a batch of weapons and ammunition from Russia every year.

75% of India's weapons and equipment are made in Russia.

However, India's military industry is weak, and many weapons and equipment cannot even be repaired. Fires in Indian military factories are not uncommon at all.

Even every year, warships suddenly catch fire, causing serious fire accidents.

India crashes dozens or even hundreds of aircraft of various types every year.

Although this is very unfavorable for the reputation of Russian-made weapons, it loses face and makes money. If a plane crashes, it will have to import an aircraft from Russia. If a warship catches fire, it will be overhauled in Russia. The cost of this overhaul is not low. If the warship is scrapped, another warship will have to be imported from Russia.

Russia doesn’t have much else, but it has a lot of retired and sealed weapons and equipment.

Even if they sell them for another 20 years, they can’t sell them all.

And he can get a reward for every year’s arms trade between the two sides, which is even more than ten times his annual salary.

Now that the South Asian war has started, India has purchased even more weapons and equipment.

From bullets to missiles, all kinds of weapons and equipment are shipped from Russia’s arsenal to India.

Russia hopes that the South Asian war will last for ten or eight years.

In the Afghan war, Russian arms did not make money, and even had to provide free support to the guerrillas to prevent the guerrillas from being completely wiped out by the US military and allowing the United States to completely control Afghanistan.

The United States controlling Afghanistan is definitely something Russia does not want to see, because if that happens, the five Stan countries in Central Asia will be shaken, and Americans are different from the Chinese.

The only things that really make Russian arms money are the Iraq War and the arms purchased in Libya.

Now, India's South Asian war has also made Russian arms money, and the money earned is no less than the Iraq War.

Russia is only one of the suppliers of arms purchased by Iraq, but India is different. Russia is the only country where India can buy weapons and equipment.

As for the United States, due to considerations of the Afghan war, it has not exported weapons to India, let alone free support. (End of this chapter)
